So judges from California are THAT different from those from other states?

Nice to see Dems admitting the value of states' rights, unconsciously.

Imagine that. Only having 13 of 28 judges. The horror of it all.

Thank you Democrats for finding new ways every day to show the American Voters why you cannot be trusted with any political power.

A splendid example of the maturity of the senior senator from Calif.

Bring it on, DiFi. Just before elections would be a great time to go Constitutional on your ass.

Well..if DiFi decides to fillibuster this nomination..that makes the Gang of 14 truce null and void in my opinion...

I'd rather they went ahead and split the Ninth Circus into the two courts: Kalifornia and Hawaii, and the rest of the current 9th Circuit formed as a NEW district.

This would leave the wingnuts with their own court, and it would continue to be over-turned at an exponential rate by the USSC, as it has been in the past.

This will be a good test of "The Gang's" willingness to stop filibusters of judical nominees. Without them, Feinstein will be stopped by cloture.

Thanks to Barbara Boxer, she is also the more intelligent of the two senators from California.

However, a pile of donkey dung could also make the same claim.

Didnt the Dems promise not to filibuster Judges anymore? I know...I know....never trust a Dem to keep his/her word.

Since when does a senator get to pick the nominees for judgeships? Swinestein should just STFU. I wish the people of CA would wake up and vote her sorry ass out of there.

I sent DiFi an e-mail congratulating her on her good work in showing why the dems can't be trusted with ANYTHING, and also for showing why California is always the odd man out: 9th Circus opinions are routinely overturned by the US Supreme Court and it's in large part because of the overwhelming presence of the whacko loonies from California on the 9th Circus bench. Way to go, DiFi! Sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you ARE ONE.

Circling the wagons around a corrupt, liberal and biased court system. It doesn't matter what the law says as much a the judge's interpretation of the law.
